Midcentury Modern Console in Hardwood & Chrome Wheels. Sergio Rodrigues, Brazil
-
Description
Available now, this Midcentury Modern Console & Chrome Wheels designed by Sergio Rodrigues in the sixties is beautiful.
The consoled has a structure made in solid Brazilian rosewood, as known as Jacaranda and Jacaranda leaf. The four wheels are original and in great condition. The wood has been refinished, showcasing beautiful yellow veins. Besides the marks of age, the piece is in great condition. A similar console is available upon a request.
This piece has all the fun aspects of a mid-century piece: clean, straight lines and abundance of wood. A gorgeous piece like this would look awesome in an office, living room next to a sofa or to an office armchair. In matter of environment, a piece like this will look great in in any mid-century modern, modern, contemporary, or even boho chic environment.
About the author: Sergio Rodrigues started working in the 1950’s when the foundations of modern Brazilian architecture where already laid out, yet furniture design was still nascent. Rodrigues set himself to the task of designing furniture that was both truly Brazilian and modernist at the same time. Over the course of his career, he accomplished this task by defining a robust, modern, and pure language reflected in his work.
About Brazilian rosewood, also called Jacaranda, is perhaps one of the most beautiful woods in the world. It is regarded as one of the finest tone woods; hard, stiff, and highly resonant with a glass-like ring that sustains; it has a floral scent, like roses, thus the name.
However, extensive overlogging over the past three centuries has virtually eliminated this tree from the Brazilian forests, so that today it is not supposed to be logged. The only material that can be sold legally is old stock. By owning a vintage piece made of old Jacaranda, you’re not only getting a beautiful collectible but also helping this species to recuperate.
